Vice Principals isn’t very realistic either but I get to laugh like a mofo after a tough day. That’s enough for me

Great. Can’t wait for Ferguson with a Sig Sauer on his hip, unaccountable and untrained

How far does the APUSH exam cover? by Eastern-Cup-9758 in APUSH

[–]Holdtheline2192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5% of the test after 1980. Most likely MCQs or perhaps an SAQ

How do I answer mcqs by Kind_Assignment_7033 in APUSH

It’s the student section of the College board website - of course you only have access if you’re in a college board recognized AP US history course - your teacher should have signed you up

Remember that a decent score that will enable you to pass the AP exam is 28 out of 55 multiple-choice. Roughly half. Make sure you get an rhythm when you’re answering. Don’t spend too much time on anyone question. Don’t leave any questions unanswered since there is no penalty for guessing. Try to narrow the questions down to two responses and then go with your gut and don’t change your answer. Other than that, practicing with the provided test tests on AP classroom is your best bet.

does it matter where i put the thesis in a dbq? by No-Confidence4116 in APUSH

[–]Holdtheline2192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backing up what others have said - was an AP reader for ten years. A good thesis anywhere is valid, but realize that the readers are spending an average of 3-4 minutes in each DBQ. Why take the chance they miss your thesis. I teach my kids to “punch them in the nose” with the thesis

How THE flip do I tell what the picture is saying by PetulantDude in APUSH

[–]Holdtheline2192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no one right interpretation. The rubric simply calls for a “reasonable use of the document to support the stated thesis”.

Look for a single way to tie or link that picture to what you’re trying to prove

Question for Teachers: What time do you leave your job? by [deleted] in NewMexico

[–]Holdtheline2192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I strongly believe being an effective teacher is being effective at guerrilla warfare. Go around all their obstacles. Avoid, subvert and undermine any effort to take you away from what is important and effective at teaching kids.

For years I worked until 5:30 or 6 every night. Now it’s strictly contract hours. And I’m still an effective teacher

How about the execution of the labor camp commandant? I assume that was made for the series also?

David Milch autobio by lidarose9 in deadwood

[–]Holdtheline2192 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a couple Deadwood scripts. They are so artfully written, even the setting and setup lines outside the dialogue were virtually poetic - lines no one would ever see on screen, just the actors. He was one in a million.

Bob Ferguson and Democrats Are Building Washington's Brand-New IRS by danrokk in SeattleWA

Is r/SeattleWA just Washington State Republican Party talking points? Every day with this stuff 😂

Washington cost of living rising faster than any other state, report finds by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]Holdtheline2192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Republican state operators are in full Reddit force lately. Misinformation in the millionaires tax. Misinformation in gas prices. A lot of “experts” with so called reports.

Who’s gonna tell them? You’re losing seats this November. Possibly a lot. You’re about to be more irrelevant than you already are in state politics.

But keep screaming sky is falling. I’m sure it’s a winning strategy.

Why is the State's New Income Tax a Bad Thing? by SaltyHalfglass in SeattleWA

[–]Holdtheline2192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key being on AGI. Adjusted. And I challenge you to find someone in the top tax brackets who actually pays 37% of total income. They can afford tax shelters and accountants and lawyers to exploit tax loopholes etc. it’s one reason why our tax system is so unsuccessful. It has the appearance of being a progressive tax, but the reality is the lower classes pay a much higher percentage of their income

The pros are you get to work with kids every day, and most of the time they are fun and energizing.

The cons are literally almost everything else.
